In depth

Verdict

Almapa was a good fourth behindWhat You Know when doing all his best work at the finish this extra two furlongs will suit and he will be hard to beat off this mark. Baclama could also go well despite top weight she will relish the ground but she has become disappointing of late. Colonial Sunset is another to consider as he is taking a drop in class but his best form is over slightly further. Top Of The Class has been in fair form on the flat of late and is well in on his best form over hurdles so also must rate a danger. Just Muckin Around was fourth behind Tiger Grass weakening quickly two out over a longer trip and he will be better suited by this shorter trip. Blowing Away could also go well off a light weight. The remainder need to improve to score.
